"You've updated your invoice" email about 5 mins after I sent an invoice - but seems legit?

Was still logged into PayPal but it was in a background tab, think it logged me out due to inactivity around the time the "update" email was sent. Was using the new invoice interface to send the invoice. When logging back into my account, the PayPal invoice activity log shows that the invoice has indeed been updated. Seems to be no actual change made to the invoice itself. The update email was sent from a recognisable PayPal address and seems entirely legit. Anything to be concerned about?

Same here. I definitely didn't update the invoice. It's happening to random invoices. I invoice a lot and this happens 1 in 3 to 5 invoices as of late. I'd think paypal could explain what's going on here. I see there is a phishing scam that also pretends to have updated invoices going on at the same time. Mine isn't this as far as I can see.

I also noticed it happens after 3 or 4 invoices are sent close together in time. It may be that PayPal has to review them and update them to actually send due to that scam going on. Lmk if you sent 4 or 5 close together and this happened on the last 1 or 2 sent.

It happens. Hit the "Login to Ask the community" button to create a question for the PayPal community.
